The cranberry harvest marks an important turn in the seasons in Southeastern Massachusetts, and celebrations like the Cranberry Harvest Celebration offer a chance for people to get a glimpse inside of this important industry. Working with the Cape Cod Cranberry Grower's Association and Ocean Spray, visitors will have a few ways to see working cranberry bogs.</font>
